Fox TV shows what YES Network adamantly refuses to

John Sterling during game 1 of the Red Sox-Yankee doubleheader Saturday, Sept. 16...

John says, "We just saw a treat, Fox just showed some video" of Mariano Rivera throwing off a mound in a bullpen session today. He said Fox is doing the game today, they're the only one able to do so.

Sterling notes this as a 'treat,' perhaps because the regular Yankee video source, YES, refuses to show any video of Rivera in pre, post, or during games. As I've written in letters to YES Network officials, they give the Yankee fan no video of Rivera, whereas other outlets (including the Yankee radio side with Sterling & Waldman, and SNY, the Mets TV station) acknowledge his worth.
